One of the most critical factors in Christianity for the 21st century is the priority of Christians merging their faith and work. The front lines of the gospel have moved from the churches we attend to the places where we live and work. The time allocation alone demands that we redeem this time for the glory of God and the building of His kingdom. This post by Jeremy Treat is a must read:
“If a person went to church every Sunday from the age of 25 to age 65, they would spend around 3,000 hours gathered with the body of Christ. If the same person worked full-time during that span, they would put in around 80,000 work hours. My point? It is the workplace, not the sanctuary, where most Christians live out their faith. If God’s reign shapes all of life, then it must shape one’s view of work.”
